Skindred has released “Electric Avenue” a cover of the classic Eddy Grant song through Myspace on Monday, January 13th. “Electric Avenue” became a cross-Atlantic smash, topping the charts in both the US and UK. The original most recently gained notoriety by being prominently featured in the hit Seth Rogen comedy, “Pineapple Express”.

Chart-topping hard-rock band Disturbed have announced a winter leg of their headlining North American tour in support of their current album, the nearly platinum Indestructible. The tour begins January 16th, 2009, in Milwaukee, WI, and crisscrosses the country before finishing up in Utica, NY, on February 27th. Sevendust and Skindred will appear as support.
Disturbed are riding high with their first-ever Grammy Award nomination in the “Best Hard Rock Performance” category for Indestructible’s first single “Inside the Fire,” which set a record when it spent 16 weeks atop the Active Rock Radio chart.

Formed in Chicago in 1996, Disturbed have sold a collective 10 million albums worldwide.
